Abstract

Let {U1,U2,,Un} be a sequence of independent and identically distributed U[0,1]-distributed random variables. Define the uniform empirical process as αn(t)=n1/2i=1n(I{Uit}t),0t1, αn=sup0t1|αn(t)|. In this paper, we get the exact convergence rates of weighted infinite series of Eαn2I{αnε(logn)1/β}.
